I Am a Camera

“I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking. Recording the man shaving at the window opposite and the woman in the kimono washing her hair. Some day, all this will have to be developed, carefully printed, fixed.”
― Christopher Isherwood.
My art is almost always reflective, not introspective. It is about what I see, not about me except that I am what I see.

A strong image and even though the camera is center front and the people are centered also, it is not static at all but very dynamic. Black and white? So stark!?? And totally graphic which really fits you--as you observe the elements of the world around you. The one little interesting part of this that I like is the way the one head joins the frame. The other parts I like are the abstract designs that fill each rectangle of the camera. VERY COOL---skunk

Interesting psychology of the non self. Three frames of reference, talking heads with no mouth love the collage A. Got a "Mad Men" intro show theme to it.

Hmmm - I don't think that is quite accurate - I've seen a lot of "you" in your art - even in those that are clip art based. "You" still selected those images and some of you will be there.
